Description
If you go out to San Francisco Bay, you will see something like this. I pronounce it "slew", but others might say "sluff" or "sloff". So, I'll simply write it and let you say it.

All the vegetation is made with "Anything Grows" in Carrara 3, then assembled, textured, lit and rendered in Bryce. I think I grew grass on all the primitives: a cube, a sphere or two, a plane, and even a cone. Then tossed them together like a tossed salad! Can you tell?

Excellent grass, very detailed and vibrant.
Not just from looking at it... I'd kill the specular on the ground though a bit. I was playing with it the other day myself doing the same thing, Pixels 3D's , ShaderMakerPro, make procedural shaders of the same type. Poser 5, has a version of, ShaderMakerPro, builti-in... looks just like it. I have a ShaderMakerPro shader render example that I intend to post sometime, actually a bunch of them. Some are cool all in themselves.
Incredible realism. Incredible detail. Shame about the title. ;-) Slough (we pronounce it to sounds like cow). Say slough to most Brits and see what they say.
Superb work.
superb! so realistic.
Outstanding !
Very good work James. Love the grasses and the lighting, I think, looks pretty darn good. Great render. ---- Scott.
Great job, I really love your materials here, the only real flaw I see is a square patch of shadow along the bottom, right of center.
Simple and stuning work! My compliments
Love that grass Jim!
KICK A** Grass!!!!! I am envious of this or Carrara or someone! I should have learned to write code and I could have made this grow thingy-ma-jiggy, plug-in! Nope, can't tell a bit. This gets the "BEST GROWTH AWARD"!
